COVID-19 UPDATE

The outbreak and acceleration of the COVID-19 virus is an unprecedented and exceptionally significant challenge facing all of us.

For 32 years, we have produced conferences and expositions to meet various needs of the Canadian real estate industry through SARS, H1N1 and other challenging outbreaks. But never before have we faced as critical a malady as COVID-19.

The health and safety of our attendees, speakers, sponsors, partners, internal and facility staff is the top priority that supersedes all other considerations. We are now all very familiar and aware of the significant importance of “social distancing” and how it can contribute to slowing the spread of the virus and flattening the curve.

Accordingly, all our originally scheduled Q1 and Q2 2020 Forums and conferences have been rescheduled in the past ten days for later in the year or placed on hold. Once there is a green light from public health authorities, governments and business, we will then announce new dates and the future status of our programs.

What Is The Status Of The Real Estate Forums And Conferences?

The following have been rescheduled see NEW DATES below:Note: all registrations for spring date have been rolled over to the new dates below

At this time, we are ready to move forward with any of the aforementioned events but only once it is clear from all experts, governments and the market that they can be held safely once again. Rest assured that we remain vigilant and will continue to update you and make decisions that reflect the high standard that we have held for three decades in terms of your safety, health, and overall experience. We are looking at creative ways to bring this content in a manner consistent with social distancing measures.

Please refer to any of the aforementioned event websites for a more detailed note and a FAQ section.
